Man, that's tough. How did you finally pull the plug on the extra work? I had a wake-up call too when my kid drew a picture of me as a stranger. I sat down with my foreman and laid out my new limits, no more weekends. It was scary at first, money-wise, but we cut some fun stuff and made it. Best choice I ever made, lol.

Keep your track tension a bit looser in the slop, helps it shed mud. We throw down a bunch of those old lumber mats to drive on if we gotta work wet ground.

Spot on. We often miss easy fixes because they seem too plain. It's like we're taught to find the hard way.
